[Mostly Open] So we'll press, and press 'til you can't take it anymore!

[groupiedrifter]

CHARACTERS: Precursors and you. And Eventually Newton. Hopefully!
LOCATION: A holding room in Ximilia Station.
DATE: Est. two days post-mission, after the kaiju is defeated and the orb is retrieved.
CONTENT: The precursors are revealed — and are finally removed from Newt's mind.
WARNINGS: Possession and the bodily autonomy issues that come with that. More will be added if necessary!

Closed and opened starters will be added as I go, which will be announced on plurk! But if you don't use plurk or would rather keep an eye out by email/tracking, feel free to use the tracking option and mark to receive notifs any new top level comments posted to this log! The log will involve an open starter to visit the precursors where they're cuffed/contained in the room, so stay tuned.

Also no rush once the open starters are posted!

Feel free to focus on the player plot log first and come back to this later.

DARKLING'S TOP LEVEL | WHILE NEWT WAS SLEEPING...
OPEN STARTER | THE PRECURSORS, REVEALED
CLOSED FINAL CONCLUSION | THE PRECURSORS, REMOVED

Good.

[Said firmly, but now that makes him wonder exactly how all that worked. Those things spoke like they were far away, with Newt at the end of a puppet string. That they could reach him here is troubling, but if Sabriel was able to reach that far back - is that just as weird? She obviously has strange abilities, but the only ones he's really seen in person had to do with healing. This is something else.

Questions for her, though, or maybe for Viveca and not for Newt who has suffered enough. It doesn't seem like a good time to delve farther into such a painful, personal topic.]

That means you have plenty of time to move forward. Don't have to worry about them, you can focus on bigger, better things. When you're ready, that is. If that's what you want to do. Right now, you worry about you first.

Move forward? Easy for you to say, Long Legs; you can take way bigger steps.

[Hey, it's a dumb height joke. Better than nothing, right?

He gestures with the cigarette in hand, offering a slight smile.]

... I appreciate this, though. And for, uh. Keeping me company.

I know I'm kind of a wet blanket right now, but — thanks.

[He chuckles at the teasing nickname. Honestly, a quiet, contemplative sit and smoke with someone is more his pace when it comes to company than anything crazy high-energy anyway. Not that he wants Newt to stay subdued like this forever, obviously.]

Don't worry about it. And don't feel like you owe me for it later, either, in case you were thinking of that. I think we're both plenty even by now.
